Any news on the ANA-6911A problem?

With 0.90, it works.

However, I'm noticing several oddities:

About half the time, it still says:
	eth2: ***WARNING***: No MII transceiver found!

It seems to be confused as to whether it's a 21142 or a 21143:

eth2: Digital DS21143 Tulip at 0x6000, 00 00 d1 1a 23 d1, IRQ 15.
eth2:  EEPROM default media type Autosense.
eth2:  Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21142 MII PHY (3) block.

In /proc/pci, it reports:

  Bus  0, device  17, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: DEC DC21142 (rev 33).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 15.  Master Capable. 
Late
ncy=32.  Min Gnt=20.Max Lat=40.
      I/O at 0x6000.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf2000000.

so I assume it really is a 21142 (it would be a pain to look at the card now).


So at this point, I don't have a problem with it, but I would be happy to test
new versions to see if they solve the cosmetic problems or create new problems.
